Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 55 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The use by the legislature of certain language in one instance and wholly different language in the other indicates that different results were intended and the courts have so presumed. Under this rule, where language is used in one section of the statute different from that used in other sections of the same chapter it is to be presumed that the language is used with a different intent. Accordingly, the presence of a provision in one section of a statute and its absence from another are an argument against reading it as implied by the section from which it is omitted.”
